Although all of the companies involved have issued apologies and said they are taking appropriate precautions to ensure the incident doesn't happen again, OSI Group continues to wrestle with damage control.

On July 26, OSI issued a statement online declaring Shanghai Husi products had been officially withdrawn from the market.

"To help rebuild the trust of our customers and consumers, as well as to cooperate with the official investigatory process, we are compelled to withdraw all products manufactured by Shanghai Husi from the market place. We are also conducting a thorough internal investigation into any possible failures on the part of current and former senior management."

This statement comes after several McDonald's locations stopped using meat products from the supplier. Last week, McDonald's Holdings Co, in Japan, announced that it would no longer source its meat from China, and instead will source products from Thailand.

As a result, locations throughout China, Hong Kong and Japan have temporarily gone vegetarian, providing customers with limited options, according to McDonald's company websites and media outlets.
